The late Mr. CHARLES A. LAMONT, whose sad 


and sudden fate is still remembered by a very large 
circle of personal friends, as well as by the community 
at large, to whom his extraordinary liberality and warmth 
of heart were constantly manifested, was likewise a gen- 
erous, enlightened, and discriminating patron of the 
Fine Arts. The pictures named in the following Cata- 
logue constitute the whole of his private collection, which 
was gathered during a long series of years, as the 


expression of a cultivated and artistic taste.

Allan Macaulay. 


This picture was painted by Horace Vernet, in 1823, for the Duke of 
Orleans, in whose collection it was then placed. While there, it was a 
special favorite of the Citizen King, Louis Philippe, into whose possession 
it passed after the duke’s death. It was hung in the king’s study at 
Neuilly, where it was when the revolution of 1848 occurred. The palace 
of Neuilly was almost completely destroyed by fire, but in that portion 
saved was the king’s study, and in it this picture. Nevertheless, after the 
fire, it was discovered that the picture had been carried off. It was pre- 
sumed that it was stolen by some thief who knew its value; but all efforts 
to recover it were fruitless, and the work was set down as lost. ‘“Twenty- 
three years later, at a sale at the Hotel Drouot, it was bought by Goupil 
& Co., of Paris, its history unknown to them. With them it remained a 
valuable and esteemed work, hidden away with many other treasures, 
until the appeal was made for the Chicago sufferers; when Goupil & Co. 
concluded to contribute it, as their donation. During the exposition of 
this and the other contributions at Goupil’s gallery, prior to their ship- 
ment here, among the visitors were the Orleans princes. As soon as the 
Duke de Montpensier came to this picture, he started and exclaimed to 
his brother, ‘‘ Why, here is our dear father’s own picture!’’ And so it 
was, the veritable Horace Vernet, the favorite picture of King Louis 
Philippe. There was of course much expression of delight and surprise, 
and Mr. Goupil at once offered to return the picture to the princes as their 
property; but after consulting with each other, they decided to leave it in 
the collection, even had they a right to its possession, which they 
doubted, saying that they will be but too happy in knowing that America 
possesses a picture for which their father, the king, had such affection. 

When this story got abroad in Paris, very large offers were made on all 
sides for the picture, by connoisseurs, but as it had already been donated 
to Chicago, no price could buy it.
